Today's Free Picks for

Well, we lost one of our Survivor Picks with New Orleans last week and obviously that makes it tougher but we’ll fight on.

Every week there will likely be a team or two that sticks out and this week it is the Chargers and Rams. While we could not fault anyone for picking either of those two, we’re going a different route this week. For one, road favs (San Diego) are too risky and we’ll put the Rams in our pocket and wait until later to use them. By some miracle, we’ll hope for an upset but have no idea how that will occur.

Instead, we’re going with the Broncos to beat Oakland. The Raiders had a decent showing in the first half of Monday’s game but don’t be fooled. They were highly motivated and emotional in Jon Gruden’s return and it also occurred on Monday Night Football. The Rams toyed with them in the second half and blew them away.

Denver, meanwhile, turned the ball over three times and still beat the Seahawks. Denver figures to clean things up here while Oakland probably played as good as it is capable of last week. Oakland is a weak team that is not going into perhaps the toughest road venue in football and emerging with a win.

Week 2 pick – Denver straight up.
